We are reporting two different cases of two new Proteus speciesProteus hauseri and Proteus penneri isolated from two different patients. One case reports a one month old male child with history of diarrhoea since six days. His stool sample was sent for microbiological examination and the second case is of Ante natal care patient with urinary tract infection whose urine was send for microbiologi...

Proteus hauseri ZMd44 (CGMCC 6746), as a crucial biodecolorizing, bioelectricity-generating, and copper-resistant bacterium, is distinguished from the urinary pathogens Proteus penneri and Proteus mirabilis. To further investigate the genetic functions of this strain, the genome sequence and annotation of its open reading frames, which consist of 3,875,927 bp (G+C content, 38.12%), are presente...

background and objective : selenium is essential for biological systems at low concentrations and toxic at higher levels. heavy metals and metalloids such as selenium are major contaminants in 40% of hazardous waste sites. thus, bioremediation has been considered as an effective means of cleaning up of selenium-contaminated sites. materials and methods : in this study, 30 strains were isolated ...

The genus Proteus along with genus Providencia and Morganella belongs to the tribe Proteeae of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The genus Proteus currently consists of four named species (P.mirabilis, P.penneri, P.vulgaris, P.myxofaciens) and four unnamed genomospecies (3, 4, 5, and 6). Genomospecies 3 was named Proteus hauseri to honor Hauser who first described the genus. [13] Both P. mirabilis...

The current study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of ureC, rsbA, zapA and mrpA virulence genes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Proteus spp. isolated from 5 commercially popular species of pet turtles and comparison of the mrpA gene sequences of Proteus mirabilis isolates with human clinical isolates. A total of 24 isolates in pet turtles were identified, comprised of P. mirabil...
